Real bad. A pure waste of time.

Rating: 1/10 (22 February 2005)

WARNING: INCLUDES SPOILERS! Advertised as "scary as hell", supposedly a horror-suspense movie, has little horror, barely any suspense, and is not a movie by any standard. The thing closest to "horror" in this uh, sub-flick is the horrible English accent, often unintelligible. Some of the zombies were cool, especially the captive black guy in the soldier's mansion, and the two dying ones as the plane flies, toward the end. Put aside all the plot holes - or rather the single hole which is the whole plot-, and the strong left-wing bias present in nearly every movie nowadays, this movie is plain boring and idiotic. I wasted one hour and 48 minutes of my life watching this garbage. The first 15 mins were OK, but from the minute Jim wakes up it was a disaster. As he walks on the dead London streets there's some nice music, which could as well been "hop goes the weasel". The minute Selena and Mark appear, it becomes obvious that Mark will die and Jim and Selena will get together. Then, as they meet Frank and Anna, it is immediately obvious that Frank will die. They could have made it much more morbid and gut-wrenching, for example if Hanna would have become infected and Frank had to kill her. The soldier's mansion was plain pathetic. The soldiers turned out to be evil monsters only interested in sex in such dire times. The colonel was plain evil, and they were so single dimensioned personalities you wouldn't even find in the White House. The ending was so horrendous that is not even worth being mentioned. All in all a bad movie, way too few gore and horror for such a movie. It probably flew only on the pretentious advertising campaign. Not recommended.
